Edouard Boubat

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edouard Boubat (September 13, 1923, Paris, France – June 30, 1999, Paris) was a well known French art photographer. He started making photographs in 1945 or 1946, in reaction to the banality and horrors of the Second World War. He sought to make photographs that were a celebration of life. He worked as a freelance photojournalist on contract to the magazine “Réalités” in the 1950s and 1960s and travelled widely throughout his career. The French poet Jacques Prévert called him a "Peace Correspondent."
